Why these ages?

2022 nautical redesign with toddler swing + sandpit + Lair Midi slide, but the play sits directly on Mission Bay waterfront with Tamaki Drive (busy arterial) on the other side. No fencing described between play and beach or road. Sand-play kit alone doesn't earn toddler-friendly when a 3yo could bolt to either the beach or Tamaki Drive.

Accessibility

Partial access

+ Step-free path to the play+ Accessible parking bay

Access notes

Description explicitly names an accessible entrance from the playground to the car park and esplanade plus dedicated mobility parking on Tamaki Drive, but no transfer station, wheelchair swing, or surface type is mentioned for the equipment itself.
